this song reminds me of when i was having my little lad, i used to listen to it all the time when i was due to have him. brings back loads of memories
Hate to be a cow, hate to be a cow, sit around chewing grass, that's ok you're got nothing to say, by fence by pool you just chew, you just pooh, buts you, you stupid fool.
they did a live performance on saturday night live in december 1995...I was about 5...but it was an excellent performance. I recorded it on VHS but I cannot find anyone who posted it on youtube.
correct me if im wrong, but im fairly sure Dave Grohl wrote and performed this whole record by himself, and formed the foo fighters after it was recorded.... pretty good job dave.... I really prefer the "old" foo fighters sound to now days.
I love this line and I'm not particularly sure why XD Either way, I do have this feeling I should print this onto something and carry it around with me forever...
but i dont think punk needs explaining in this much detail, either people r punk or theyre not, and if they r not, by all means listen to the music, but PLEEEASE dont ruin it for the rest of us, case closed =P
and... now modern bands (with a few exceptions of course) are trying to sound the same as all the others in order to make a few pennies.... not caring that it is ruining the best (in my opinion) music genre in the world, and completely trashing what has been built by talented musicians with something to say, destroying their work that has took over 40 years, obviously punk has older origins, but i cba..., but i think if people just stick to their guns and tell teh posers to fo they are doing gud
hm well to a certain extent i agree, but not "changing", as such... although the two genres are closely related, and i listen to both punk and rock music, and i
<3 both genres, i think punk should stay the same, as what it started out as defined punk.... and no, its not just about spitting in the face of abusive authority and giving them the middle finger, as i cant really define punk, it is rather hard, but it is also about being yourself, and most punk bands in the 60's - 80's supported this
im not saying foo fighters are completely unlikable, you are entitled to your opinion, as am i, so i dont really see the need for a response to my post, but a couple of points: A. holidays in cambodia, while it is a very good song, was the CLOSEST thing to pop the dead kennedys released as far as i know, B. dead kennedys I. made the original song, and II. probably did it better, and C, there is no irony, when ya look at it closely :P lmao ... u know my opinion, so...
nicely said XxfoofightinxX, a LOT of posers out there, they have started making music of their own, and ruining the whole punk/rock scene... in the words of dead kennedys, "punks not dead, it just deserves to die when it becomes another still cartoon", Fuck off posers, and go and ruin some other type of music because i dont stand for ur mcfly, busted, panic, and alla ur other crap, foo fighters is proper shit, shame its not the whole song, rofl, it just cut out on me, rofl.. anyways, ciao n00bz
foo fighters rule, thats my opinion, ok? u can have opinions too, but, i just wanted to point out that foo did a cover of holiday in cambodia, XP, dont ya love irony
I'm glad thers bands like the Foos around cause there music these days is rapidly going down hill - but not in all cases - but my friends always question my taste in music and im like why???
just cause i don't go along with the crowd and listen to what everyone else does!!
I'm glad to have individuality and my own style in and not just be a poser like some of my friends!!
I always thought this song was either about the "music industry" or those "fake fans" who just listen to whatever is hip at the time. I think the music industry is right on though. Bunch of old dinosaurs who can't and won't change. Hell, Kurt and all of the Seattle Scene gave it a good shot. Remember how in the 90's you could just feel a change coming? All the nerds were cool, the jocks were jerks and individuality was in - posers were out and it was all good. I miss that feeling. I miss Kurt.
yeah, i cant really see a sound difference, except for the youngness in Grohl's voice in the earlier stuff. But i can certainly see a change in lyrics style. This stuff is more out there and kinda Nirvana-y whereas the newer stuff is deeper and carries and impact to get the old customer coming back for more.
Thanks for posting these GREAT songs. I used to listen to this cassette over and over until my tape-eating car decided it wanted Tape-ghetti for dinner :( Love the Foos!
My girlfriend lives on a farm, the cows usually come within 20 feet late in the day to graze. I loves to open the window and blare this song at em....
When I listened this album , i really realized , that the fact that Dave was an ex-nirvana , had nothing or not much to do , with the succes of the album , cause it is awesome !!!!!! And the fact that Dave is an ex-nirvana Too !!!! FuLL FAITES ( in my language is a JOKE IT meAns : LOT OF mischivous people that get drunk and hight , it´s a Slang , jeje , by .
definitely an underrated track from the first album...
